CHANGE IN SPECIFICATIONS
Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time
based on improvements and other reasons.
It is our practice to change model numbers when published ratings or
features are changed, or when significant construction changes are
made. However, some specifications of the product may be changed
without any notice. When in doubt, special model numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for your application on
your request. Please consult with your OMRON representative at any
time to confirm actual specifications of purchased products.
